Emmer
(T. dicoccon)
wheat of Ancient Egypt, the original matzah, and in Biblical
Israel. Emmer was found in the Jericho cave where Bar Kokhba
rebels hid from the Romans in 135 CE.
Emmer is being rediscovered as a gourmet grain
due to its rich flavor and high nutrition. Our organic emmer
is grown in the US from an ancient Ethiopian variety brought
to Israel by Ethiopean Jews.

grains, was found ancient Jericho and Turkey dating from 11,000

than modern wheat. It is still grown in remote mountain regions
by traditional peasants due to its delicious, nutty flavor and
ability to thrive in rocky soils.
